The Biden administration has no choice but to take this stance against the coup or it would open up the 2020 results in question
Congratulations President Elect Joe Biden!!

Axios is turning on Biden not a good sign
Joe Biden ran as a unifying centrist destined to be in conflict with activist liberals. Turns out, Biden is governing as an activist liberal constrained by centrists.
Joe Biden ran as a unifying centrist destined to be in conflict with activist liberals. Turns out, Biden is governing as an activist liberal constrained by centrists.
- Why it matters: Biden has outlined the most liberal agenda in a generation. But centrist Democrats, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), are potential deal-killers on climate change, spending and immigration reform.
- On top of Biden's expansive agenda, add Speaker Pelosi — a progressive who always wants to go big, and is thinking about her legacy — and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who worries about a primary from his left.
- A FiveThirtyEight polling analysis finds majority support for 13 of 14 Biden executive actions in Week 1. (Canceling the Keystone pipeline got a plurality.)
- The country doesn't see it as liberal to fight the pandemic, racism or climate change.
- With the Senate split 50-50, and Vice President Harris breaking ties, Biden needs every Democrat, even if the party uses budget reconciliation or ditches the filibuster rule — both mechanisms for passing bills with a simple majority.
- And Biden first will try to govern normally, which means 60 votes, and bringing some Republicans on board.
- Manchin complained to WSAZ-TV in Huntington, W.Va., about an interview Harris had given the station to push Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID rescue plan: "I couldn’t believe it. No one called me. ... That’s not a way of working together."
- So Biden is pursuing "big ideas on climate, economic opportunity, child poverty, health care," but rejecting "far-left ideas like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal (including banning all fracking), abolish ICE, Defund the Police, universal basic income, etc."
Biden’s Adviser To Pick Federal Judges Was Accused of Physically Assaulting Children, Nudity

Well, he's certainly starting to move money now! I guess only the financial experts can guess how it will work in the long run. It seems to me handing out money to couples with an income of $149,000 plus is a little "rich". I'd be more in agreement with $50 grand and watch what they do with that.
What must really irritate people is the fact that the Covid Bill of 1.9T only has either 7% or 9% (I've heard both %) is for actual Covid; the vast majority is for other things foreign & domestic that have absolutely nothing to do with Covid. I'd be pretty p'd - that's for sure!
My guess is both figures are a bunch of B.S. it's all likely intermingled. Is the money for Covid or for projects necessitated partly at least by Covid? Is it for new housing or is it for replacement housing for folks who got forecloses on due to Covid. I'm not sure that it matters a whole lot. It all depends on how far it's necessary to go! Maybe it should be limited for starters at least to address the destitute and hungry. Is someone who lost a $million home completely without resources?
Funds should be directed to the destitute & hungry but it's doubtful the majority of those who are will see a penny. I'm thinking there's a few "pockets" to be lined as well (not that I'm cynical or anything)
It's mostly to bail out Liberal states and pensions with a few pet projects mixed in I thought you read the news JLM?
JUST SHOCKING! Joe Biden Delivers Speech on Anniversary of COVID Lockdowns – Only 7,141 Tune In to White House YouTube Page for His First Address
Joe Biden delivered his very first address as US President on the anniversary of the COVID lockdowns.
Only 7,141 people tuned in to the White House YouTube page for this highly staged event at the time of writing.
Biden lied about President Trump doing nothing to address this threat.
Biden then lied about Asian Americans being harassed during the China virus pandemic.
He forgot to mention the illegal aliens with COVID he is busing across the country.
Joe cares.
Kennedy On Stimulus: Calling It ‘A Coronavirus Bill’ Is Like Thinking ‘The Stripper Really Likes You’
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill during a Fox News interview on Thursday morning, saying that calling the bill a “coronavirus bill” was like thinking “the stripper really likes you.”
Host Brian Kilmeade asked Kennedy about the bill, which White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki bragged this week is the “most progressive bill in American history.”
“President Biden says it’s a coronavirus bill and my response is, ‘Right, you know, and the stripper really likes you,'” Kennedy said. “I said the other day that calling this a coronavirus bill is like calling Harvey Weinstein a feminist. It’s just chock-full of spending porn. There are parts of it I like. I like trying to help people who are unemployed, and I like trying to help our small business people, especially our restaurants.”
“But I don’t understand why we have to give bucket-loads of money to prisoners. Why do they need help?” he continued. “I don’t understand why we have to give money to people who are in our country illegally. I don’t understand why we have to give money to states whose revenues have gone up. I don’t understand why we have to give $130 billion to schools that refuse to open. I don’t know why we have to pay reparations — this bill has a reparations provision — and if you add up all the coronavirus spending, and then all the spending porn, there’s no comparison.”
“And to me, using a coronavirus bill to effectuate spending porn, is like looting after a natural disaster and that’s why I voted against it,” he concluded. “We tried with President Biden, he said, ‘Look, ‘I’ll meet you half way,’ we said, ‘OK.’ Well, and then he just ignored us.”
A flatterer.. always a flatterer!
This election was razer thin, Biden is going to have a hell of a time trying to unit the United States..
I hope to God people don't get stupid and do something violent where innocent people get hurt..
That also goes for Trump.
Thought it was a gaffe on the campaign trail but this again?
Hahahaha calling Joe out he'll eat Joe's lunch
Or maybe send in President Harris to pinch hit for him

Joe Biden is lying about his 2011 dealings with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and the Russian president isn’t putting up with it. I know this because I was an eyewitness to the events of that day. Events that Washington, D.C.’s media have failed to press Biden on – and that give an extraordinary insight into how our now-president was humiliated by his Russian counterparts.
Vladimir Putin and his staff sought the almost ritualistic humiliation of then-Vice President Joe Biden, who commanded very little respect on the world stage during his tenure as veep. If it can be believed, he commands even less, now. Ever since that moment I witnessed, Joe Biden and his staffers – with the help of Washington’s press corps – have been spinning the story 180 degrees away from how it actually happened.After Biden lied about his prowess with Putin in a sickly sweet interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Putin pulled his ambassador out of Washington. It’s a pretty big move from Putin out of the blocks. Usually, if you fear a nation and its leader, you don’t start by pulling your ambassador. This is Putin’s telling the Biden regime: “We don’t need you, and we don’t fear you.”
It’s quite a stark difference from the Trump administration, which sanctioned Russia while engaging in diplomacy. The media chastised Trump for attempting to avoid a pointless conflict with Russia. That’s the same press that is now fawning over Joe Biden’s kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party.
As an aside, Stephanopoulos never pressed Biden on how his son Hunter Biden was compromised by a Putin-friendly Moscow woman’s $3.5 million money transfer, as reported by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee last September.
I documented what happened at Joe Biden’s one and only meeting with Vladimir Putin in my book Joe Biden Unauthorized. I can attest that the title of my chapter on the incident – Bitch Slapped in Moscow – is the actual truth.
Biden got bitch slapped, and he’s pretending he didn’t.
Putin knows what happened. He was there. He knows he compromised Joe Biden, who appeared unprepared to deal with the ruthless, former-KGB agent. Regardless, Joe continues to perpetuate his “I was the tough guy” lie.
As Joe Biden’s White House stenographer, I stood directly behind Putin at a distance of five feet. Biden, seated across from Putin at an elegant conference table, was about 12 feet from me.
About 10 minutes into the meeting, Vice President Biden attempted to start lecturing about his decades-old part in U.S.-Russian negotiations with the dreaded phrase, “I’ve been around a long time. The first time I was here…”
And… cut.
Joe Biden got about one sentence further into that spiel when off went his microphone, off went the lights for the TV cameras, and stern Russian voices were commanding the press to leave. And leave they did.
They went out quickly and efficiently, with videocameras popping off of tripods. Equipment snapping shut. Portable lights clattering down retractable poles. No one spoke, and no one dared linger.
This was Putin in all his KGB ruthlessness. Whether by some prearranged signal or simply an undisclosed time limit, he had pulled the plug and done the unthinkable: he’d stolen Joe Biden’s audience and rendered him speechless. Shut him down in mid-sentence with the flick of an invisible switch.
Across the table, I could see Vice President of the United States Joe Biden, in the now dimly lit room, looking as duped as an exhausted fish in the bottom of a boat. No protest, no complaint. No, hey, I wasn’t finished. Nothing. He was humiliated.
To me, the revelation was the premeditated precision of the snub. Putin or his team had likely plotted this all out. They knew exactly what bait to use, exactly how Joe Biden would take it, and then when he did, they reeled him helplessly in.
The Russian President and his delegation sat calmly and coldly as their American counterparts realized their blustery leader’s big moment had been stolen right out from under him. The most powerful man in Russia had neither fear nor respect for Joe Biden. He had just played with him for sport.
Here’s a link to the transcript I prepared for the Obama White House Press Office. You can see that it ends with Biden in mid-sentence.
So what are we to make of Joe Biden’s “you have no soul” line to Vladimir Putin, which is how he attempts to reclaim the upper hand?
Only in his 2017 book Promise Me, Dad did [then-Vice President Biden] describe that meeting as “contentious”. At least he finally came clean about what I saw, though it took him six years.
His self-promotional version always centered on his momentary appraisal of Putin. Maybe you’ve heard it before. He has certainly repeated it often enough.
After praising Putin’s magnificent office, which Biden teasingly attributed to Russia’s growing acceptance of capitalism, he looked Putin in the eye and said something to the effect of: “I don’t think you have a soul,” to which he said Putin replied in English: “Good, then we have an understanding.”
With no press in attendance, we’re asked to take the Vice President at his word. But what are the chances – given what we already know about the exchanges between the two leaders – that this actually happened?
Think about it. Biden has spent his whole career boasting about his diplomatic capabilities. Just at the end of the aborted press conference, he was talking about his meetings with Brezhnev. But suddenly he decided to call Putin – apropos of nothing – soulless?
The reality is Biden is accidentally giving away one of two things: he either blurted something out having been humiliated in the presser. Or he was abandoning his decades of foreign policy experience for a “gotcha” moment in an empty room with no press. Seems a weird time to do it.
Putin’s actions over the entire course of the Obama-Biden administration were always belligerent. Now, with the return of bitch slapped Biden, he’s going right back to that strategy with his version of a Russian “reset”.
This doesn’t sound like the genius “diplomat” Joe Biden has portrayed himself as for decades, nor the master strategist the media mindlessly report he is.
In fact, Biden new posturing on Russia appears to be luring the U.S. into yet another foreign policy distraction while he gives the Chinese Communist Party just about whatever they want (as long as there’s 10 percent for the “big guy” on the back end).
